SAN DIEGO: Second-chance Comic-Con passes on sale Tuesday

People who signed up for a Comic-Con International member identification number but did not buy a ticket when they went on sale will get a second chance Tuesday.

The online sale is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer said anybody who is eligible for the sale should check their email for a link that will send them to the correct site to purchase tickets for this summer's Comic-Con.

The first round of tickets to this year's Comic-Con went on sale March 3 and were sold out in 90 minutes. Tickets usually become available as people who cannot attend turn theirs in for refunds.

Only people who signed up for a qualifying member ID by Feb. 29 will be able to buy tickets. Anyone who has already purchased a four-day badge (with or without Preview Night) or a Saturday badge will not be allowed to participate in this resale. The Tuesday sale is only for those who missed a chance at buying a badge, not for people who want to upgrade or change their badge selections, Glanzer said.

Questions about the Tuesday sale should be directed to attendeereg@comic-con.org .

Comic-Con is a pop culture convention that includes panels with comic book creators and top Hollywood celebrities. More than 100,000 fans usually attend, and this year's convention is planned for July 12-15 at the San Diego Convention Center.
